About this statute

This article says the law is meant to prevent and punish money laundering, terrorist financing, and financing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. This article defines key terms used in the law on money laundering, terrorist financing, and related matters. This article lists two forms of money laundering: self-laundering and third-party money laundering. The competent authority must immediately freeze or seize funds or other assets when there are serious reasons to suspect they are linked to an offence. The competent authority may identify, trace, evaluate, freeze, seize, and investigate property linked to confiscation, and it may lift a freezing or seizure decision in some cases.
